1304.4863 (Jean-Nicolas Longchamp et al.)

Graphene Unit Cell Imaging by Holographic Coherent Diffraction    [PDF]

Jean-Nicolas Longchamp, Tatiana Latychevskaia, Conrad Escher, Hans-Werner Fink
We have imaged a freestanding graphene sheet of 210 nm in diameter with 2 Angstrom resolution by combining coherent diffraction and holography with low-energy electrons. The entire sheet is reconstructed from just a single diffraction pattern displaying the arrangement of 660.000 individual graphene unit cells at once. Given the fact that electrons with kinetic energies of the order of 100 eV do not damage biological molecules, it will now be a matter to develop methods for depositing individual proteins onto such graphene sheets.
